Every time an election comes up though, everyone is like “we need to vote for the democrats because third party/not voting is ‘a vote for the republicans’” and sadly I have to admit due to how first past the post elections work they do have a point. So any individual voting for anything other than a democrat (or not voting) makes it less likely the democrats win and more likely republicans win, and they’re by far the worse option (and still pro Israel).

Maybe Israel’s propaganda is to dissuade people from voting for anti-Israel politicians in the primaries and the like, rather than directly make them look good.

Is this budget for convincing the general public to support them, or convincing US politicians? Because if it’s the former I don’t see it working or anyone believing the lies. Bloomberg tried something similar to get into the democratic primary and I’m pretty sure he failed spectacularly.

But I’d bet it’s the latter, and I let buying US politicians will continue to be successful. Because if both republicans and democrats support Israel, even if the public hates them who else is there to vote for?

50 dollars and 0 cents isn’t a lot

It wasn’t common knowledge back then

I don’t like my roommates enough to even hang out let alone cuddle, but in August that will change and I’ll have roommates I do want to cuddle with.

I have a TV in my bedroom set up specifically for in case I have a friend over and we want to cuddle on the bed and watch stuff. It’s hooked up to my computer for ad-free YouTube but is separate from my regular computer monitor.

My roommates do have a living room TV but I feel weird about cuddling in front of them.

I don’t think people choose has over electric because of a dumb lust for power, I think it’s because many people can’t charge at home (especially with rents going up and cheap landlords unwilling to install chargers), there are more 15+ year old used gas cars, and outdated worries about range (fast charging has gotten better).

Like electric bicycles with controllers that can be easily swapped, programmed, and tinkered with?

Isn’t that what Nebula/CuriosityStream is? All my favorite YouTubers promote it, though the caveat is you have to pay but I think the money actually goes to the creators (and they put bonus content on it like a patreon).

But even if it’s small, isn’t it an accurate representation of what people as a whole are talking about?

Besides, I know my friends in real life and they won’t shut up about it so it’s not just confined to Lemmy.

It is? I see the Epstein files all over Lemmy and endlessly posted on friends’ social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc)

I disagree about being content with a small user base, I want more niche communities beyond News/Politics, Linux/FOSS, and memes.

Aren’t those the same thing? Liberals are to the left.

Isn’t everyone on this site a liberal though? I don’t think I’ve seen a single conservative on here.

At last China is still capable of building infrastructure for the benefit of its citizens. I’m envious of their high speed rail network.

Oh yes, heating about Kirk got super annoying after the first post.

The sketchy site I used only had the Japanese version unfortunately.

It’s nice that Androids can finally send me high quality images and participate in group chats without as much jank. Still not as good as an iMessage group but a lot more bearable.

This is my first time hearing about them as well. Are they something that isn’t present in the regular web UI, but various apps have added?
